GOP Senator Slaps Down ICE Barbie’s Detention Center Plotting

Republican Senator Roger Wicker is urging the Department of Homeland Security to take its plans for a massive immigration detention center elsewhere as he slaps down having the facility in his state.

The powerful Mississippi lawmaker wrote a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Tuesday rejecting the plan to buy a warehouse to convert it to hold immigrants in the deep red state.

It comes as Democrats have been deeply critical of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity across the country.
